The summer interns at Microsoft got together (with some employees, 150 people in all) to make a Broadway-style musical about the company. These computer geeks are talented! Sure, a lot of it is high praise for Microsoft, but there's some humor involved, too, because no one should be above poking fun at themselves... or their workplace.

I think Miss C is right: talented and driven young people are self-selecting to become Microsoft interns. I don't think Amazon warehouses have interns - but if they do, they probably won't make this sort of videos ;)

I guess the fact that I saw it after the "Look what a great place to work at Amazon warehouses are" video planted the seed of doubt in my mind. I mean there's some pretty professional production value going on here -- but it could just be basic talent having its outlet here.

I don't know, but I doubt Microsoft needs a promotional video. Especially one that says, "Look at all these young and talented people who are way ahead of you in getting hired here." I think it speaks more to the selectivity of top colleges and the deep pool of internship applicants Microsoft got. These are the "high-achieving yet well-rounded" students schools and companies look for.

Actually pretty impressive. Did they have to audition for a job as well as interview?! Unless they did some serious dubbing or auto-tuning, there's some pretty good singers there, not to mention dancers! On the other hand, is this just a product of their PR department as a promo for the company?
